Review: A great core for a workstation/server. It can game, but go for the i7 6700k if you need one for gaming. - It does as it should. Let me go over a couple things with someone looking to buy this. IF you are purely getting this for a gaming core, don't waste the extra money. While this core will game and game amazingly. Over clock potential is very low, I had trouble getting it to 4.3Ghz stable feeding it a lot of vcore and it putting out a ton of heat. You can easily do a 4.0 clock on it with minimal vcore and heat. It seems to hit a wall at about 4.1Ghz. But I found that overclocking gave almost no difference in performance and just wasted electric/heat. So at stock frequency this thing under a hyper evo 212 idles at 20c and max load is around 40c. That's really low for a processor with 12 threads. Electricity draw for the core itself is around 60 watts at load. Great work horse, it can easily transcode plex and encode in handbrake at the same time. A great purchase.
Review: Can easily be pushed to match the performance of a 5930K at 4.0GHz. - Overclocks like a champ... to a certain point. Compared to the 4790K this replaced, it wasn't able to overclock as high, but is far more efficient with each core. I found it was extremely stable at 4.4 GHz on 5 cores and 4.3 on the worst of six cores all while pushing just 1.385V. More on the favorite cores below. At stock frequency, this isn't the most impressive CPU. However, with the help of a motherboard with an overclocking socket and extra pins making contact with the CPU, I found that I could push this processor to 4.5Ghz on the favorite core and 4.4Ghz on the rest. However, I had to give the CPU 1.522V. Well above a 24/7 overclock should be. You may get lucky in the silicon lottery and get a CPU that can overclock higher, but at least 70% will be able to reach 4.3 Ghz on all six cores. New to Broadwell-E is the addition of the favorite core feature to new motherboards (or a Bios update to older 2011-V3 mobos). The favorite core is marked with an asterisk on my Asus sabertooth X99, but on my previous MSI motherboard, I found which core was favored over the others. In my case, core 0 was the favorite followed by 5, 2, 3, 1 and 4. This is extremely helpful when overclocking as each core requires a different voltage to achieve the same clock. The amount of voltage to get to 4.0 Ghz was just above the base clock voltage. As each core was pushed higher and higher, the voltage needed to be bumped up at an exponential rate. 4.2GHz at 1.2V, 4.3 at 1.385, and a stable 4.4GHz needed 1.5V. The safe voltage according to my motherboard is less than 1.4V, but with a good AIO or custom loop, the CPU can be pushed past 1.45V with no worry of thermal throttling. Even with a master cooler hyper D92, this was able to get up to 4.2GHz at 70 C at 100% load.

*by A***U on February 25, 2017*

Coming from an i5 3570K, this CPU definitely blows it out of the water from sheer performance to streaming. Multitasking with this is a breeze and I have not encountered a moment it has bogged down when doing anything I have thrown at it. Streaming was the primary reason I went with it and it has not let me down. With stream running @ 720P downscale / Lanczos / 60FPS / 3K Bitrate / Veryfast + Firefox / Discord / IRC / Uplay - Origin - Steam - GOG - Battle.Net + BF1 @ Ultra, The Division / Ghost Recon Wildlands @ Ultra / Diablo 3 @ Max / CSGO / Doom / GTAV / Conan Exiles - All at 1080P, the processor at max hit 80%. For the most part it fluctuates between 40 / 65% usage. I do not usually run my games at Ultra at all, but to test this stuff + the stream and see how well the 1080 paired with this, I decided to do so. Coming from barely being able to run the games without major dips, [BF1 Sinai Desert] to being able to do that and more, was well worth it.
